Jasmine is considered by many as the king of essential oils. With its deep floral and warm and rich scent, it creates a state of relaxation and calms the mind. To entirely immerse ourselves in its amazing smell and health-enhancing properties, we can use it in topical applications, baths and while showering, as well as during inhalation to clear our airways.

In ayurvedic medicine there are three doshas that make up our individual and unique mind-body type. They are called - Vata, Pitta and Kapha, and they determine our body shape, mental activity, personality and what diseases and health issues we might be prone to. If you have cold hands and feet, dry skin and are dealing with constipation, you should learn more about the Vata dosha.

During the winter time our respiratory system is exposed to an increased amount of bacteria and viruses, and sometimes our sinuses, throat and lungs get impacted. To support them in their recovery, many studies suggest using certain herbs as they exhibit powerful anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antibacterial effects.

Good health comes by having our physical and mental self in balance, which is how we prevent diseases, and our health from declining. Ayurveda is a health and lifestyle system that can prevent, but can also treat diseases using different herbal preparations and other holistic approaches, which are often complementary to modern medicine.

Latest research shows that regular yoga practice can reduce hypertension, asthma attacks, effects of autoimmune diseases, and increase red blood cell count, our flexibility and core strength.
